The Mardin Peace Mothers Assembly called on people to attend the march that will take place in Silopi (province of Şırnak) on 6 November to protest the use of chemical weapons by the Turkish army against the HPG in Zap, Avaşîn and Metina in South Kurdistan.

The Peace Mothers organised a press statement at the HDP Mardin Provincial Building and said that the slogan of the march will be "Humanity against chemical weapons-Li dijî cekên kîmyewî meşa mirovahiye".

Speaking on behalf of the Mardin Peace Mothers Assembly, Halime Kaya said: "We reject the use of chemical weapons by the Turkish army and we invite everyone to join our march."

'Let's stop the attacks'

Perihan Altuğ, spokesperson of the Peace Mothers Assembly in Nusaybin, said that mothers are suffering the most and added: "Our children are killed in prisons and everywhere. Both Kurdish children and Turkish children were killed. Our call is to all mothers: let’s hold the hand extended by the Peace Mothers, let's stop this persecution. Enough is enough. This march is a peace march, a march for justice, a march for brotherhood. We want to see everyone in Silopi. We do not want war. Let's stop this war, let’s end these chemical attacks."
